About

I’m an illustrator based in the North East of England who enjoys drawing vibrant, expressive characters alongside short, humorous comics. I also travel on my motorbike and use photos from places I visit as inspiration for developing my illustration practice.

I work hard in professional settings and I’m interested in roles at the intersection of illustration, comics, and creative education, where I can contribute both my artwork and my communication skills.
